"It was the Du Family's 2nd house that found me. They even said that after I kill father, we can call up troops …" Li Dong suddenly grabbed onto his neck with his eyes wide open. In the blink of an eye, his life disappeared.

Someone went up to investigate. "Reporting to the emperor, he's dead."

The emperor took a deep breath and weakly waved his hand. "Carry the corpse down. Let the coroner have a good look at it."

The Li family was the standard royalty faction, and now that the Li family's Patriarch was gone, the newly appointed Patriarch, Li Qiuming, had obviously assumed that this matter had nothing to do with him. It was obvious that he didn't want to get involved, but the Du family had already had a bad premonition …

The Mu family had already dispersed, and the Emperor's Xin family was in decline. In this sort of situation, if the Du family decided to rebel at this critical juncture, they would have no strength to fight back.

The emperor suddenly asked, "Miss Feng, what do you think?"

Mu Xiaoling said, "I'm afraid that the Du Family will turn back very soon. After all, we already have an excuse." She did not regret killing Du Lun. Although this became the excuse for the Du Family to rebel, it was still an opportunity. Thinking of this, she said, "But we still have a chance at all.

The Emperor nodded. It was true, but who was suitable?

Mu Xiaoling said, "I would like to recommend someone to the Emperor."

The emperor's eyes shone. "Who?"

Mu Xiaoling looked at Meng Yifan, "I am the Young Lord of the Meng Family, Meng Yifan."

Everyone was shocked, including Meng Yifan. Could he do it?

Mu Xiaoling continued, "The Young Lord is naturally intelligent and deserves the responsibility."

The Du Family only thought that Meng Yifan was a fake. If he was sent back to the Du Family, they would definitely find it extremely funny. To actually send their traitor back here, they would naturally not be on guard against him.

The only thing that mattered was whether or not Meng Yifan would be able to escape. After this mission was completed, the Emperor, in order to fight against the remaining aristocratic families, would definitely make the Meng Family a new upstart. This was the first step in her promise to the Meng Family.

A hint of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he quickly nodded in agreement. "If he's suitable, that's fine too."

Li Dong was dead, so this matter could only end here for now. The Emperor's energy was running out, so he could only make everyone withdraw.

Mu Xiaoling and Meng Yifan were walking together, they whispered in a low voice, "There is a traitor in the hall."

How could Li Dong say "die" in front of everyone's eyes? He must have had a hidden weapon like a poisonous needle placed by a traitor.

Meng Yifan nodded with a serious face. No matter how hard he tried, he could not imagine that so many things would happen in Shang Jing this time.

Mu Xiaoling sent Meng Yifan off, and the moment she opened the door, she saw Xiao Yu, who was already sitting inside. She couldn't help but frown, "What are you doing here?"

"To see how smart my princess consort is, of course." Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He's a bit smarter than I thought, Meng Yifan is indeed the most suitable candidate."

Mu Xiaoling shot a glance at him. "You can leave now."

Xiao Yu changed the topic. "I see that you're extremely fond of daggers. Right now, there's actually a martial skill related to daggers. If you don't want it?"

At the moment, what Mu Xiaoling lacked the most was martial skills. She was startled when she heard what he said. "Where?"

"Follow me." Xiao Yu Qian led the way.

Mu Xiaoling quickly followed one after the other as they left the palace. They walked on the main street and entered a large building. There was a signboard on top with the words "Bohai Pavilion" written on it.

Bohai Pavilion was the most famous auction house in the world, every country had branch stores regardless of the size of the city. It could be said that it was an accurate habit to use its business to achieve the standards of every corner.

And there's nothing they don't dare sell, as long as you have it.

Mu Xiaoling never thought that Xiao Yu would bring her to this place.

Two black cloaks and two Facebook masks were passed to the guards at the door. "Do you two have an appointment?"

"Yes." Xiao Yu took out a small black wooden token from his sleeve and tossed it over to the worker. After inspecting the work, he instantly led the two of them to a single room on the third floor.

The auction house was divided into three floors, which were built around the stage in the middle. The second and third floors were reserved rooms, while the first floor was a large hall. At this moment, the first floor was already filled with people.

The interior of the private room was decorated in a low-key, luxurious manner. The tables and chairs were all made from fine sandalwood. After the two of them took their seats, maids quickly came to serve them fragrant tea and snacks.

The shop assistant chuckled, "Our Bohai Pavilion has always put customer comfort first. If you two need any special service, that's fine too." As he spoke, he glanced at the female attendant.

Xiao Yu tossed over a silver ingot as he said, "Get out."

The serving staff and maids immediately left after receiving the benefits.

Xiao Yu said, "Today's auction will have a martial skill related to daggers. You can try it."

Mu Xiaoling shot a glance at him. "I don't have any money."

Xiao Yu laughed softly, "I will come out."

"Alright." Mu Xiaoling really needed it. After pondering for a moment, she agreed. "I will return it to you twice in the future."

Xiao Yu smiled slightly. "Why don't you return your men to me, okay?"

Mu Xiaoling glared at him but didn't say anything.

Roughly an hour later, when the auction house was fully filled up, the auction officially began.

The woman was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, so she said, "Dear guests, welcome to Bo Hai Pavilion. The little lady, Ye Fangfei, is here to show everyone her gift, and I'm sorry to have to thank everyone for the meal, but I'm sure Bo Hai Pavilion will stand for a hundred years."

The woman waited for her to calm down before continuing, "But since ancient times, no rules are allowed, so Fangfei still has to mention it before the auction. First of all, once you enter our Bohai Pavilion, you are not allowed to use force, or you will have to bear the consequences."

As soon as Ye Fangfei's voice fell, she immediately began to release a pressure, however, most of this pressure was directed at the random customers on the first floor and took care of the second and third floor.

Even so, Mu Xiaoling still felt that this man was at least a martial spirit, or perhaps even higher.

Ye Fangfei saw that everyone was trembling like a quail, she was very satisfied, so she continued to say, "Second, after every bid, I will repeat three times, if no one wins after three times, the other bidders will not be able to make any more bids, and finally, if someone follows the price but cannot take out the money, then the consequences will be … "Haha …"

There was no need to mention Ye Fangfei, everyone had already guessed that Bohai Pavilion could become on such a large scale in less than a hundred years. With the suppression from martial spirits, who would dare to go up and cause trouble?

"The owner of this house is as boring as ever." Xiao Yu's sudden words caused Mu Xiaoling to be stunned.

In fact, no one had actually seen the Master of Bohai Pavilion before. She subconsciously asked, "You know the Master of Bohai Pavilion?"
